In the match where Ferdinand was hit by a coin?

It doesn't matter where contact was initially made, only where it was "broken off" (outside the box). The first image clearly shows he's outside of the box... note that he is in the air, the shape of his body and the position of his shadow. I would have liked to provide images taken from other...

Nine years ago and that same one famous decision has been used to excuse umpteen decisions against United since.

In the very first minute of the match. Absent from the BBC match report, not featured in the MOTD highlights. Welbeck is clear on goal and Tottenham keeper Lloris comes out to punch clear and ends doing so outside of his box. http://i.imgur.com/WMLx7yS.jpg - Larger...

I watched the game live but I am waiting on obtaining a copy of the match so I can put it under close scrutiny before commenting on all the individual incidents. My own copy suffers extensively from 'rain fade'. United could have had at least two penalties, had a player wrongly awarded a...

As is typical when decisions go against Manchester United the same handful of decisions that went in their favour in the past are instantly recalled by all and used to justify the decisions against them. At the same time decisions that went against United even in the same game or previous game...

Interesting that the BBC chose to show three slow motion replays of a certain controversial incident from today's games on Match of the Day, but cut each replay short to hide evidence of a foul. A remarkable thing to do in today's Internet age as truthful and legitimate replays of the incident...

From the Manchester United-West Ham match today. How does this compare to Wayne Rooney "kicking out" last month? That incident that widely covered by the media and he even attracted criticism in this thread. So far today's incident hasn't been reported by any media outlet, and I believe the...

An air traffic controller posting on a Manchester United website claimed that such aborted landings are a daily occurrence at most major airports, and estimated at least 10 a day happen in the UK alone. Germany themselves must have several each day. Of course it's obvious why the media chose...

So BBC doctored the images then? The ball was already heading out of play off the Cardiff player's boot. It was a throw in to United. Simply incredible reactions from the referee then, as the assault on Fellaini only began a split second before the ball was delivered and continued with...

Using the same logic if the referee hadn't made mistakes in favour of Chelsea allowing them to win both games against United in the 2009/10 season United would have won the title that season instead of losing by 1 point. Had the Manchester City/QPR game on the final day of the 2011/12 season...

The media have completely ignored that Cardiff's equaliser came from a free kick that shouldn't have been, that the free kick was successfully defended by United on the first attempt but the referee inexplicably ordered it to be retaken after a Cardiff player (Medel) threw a punch at Fellaini...

I questioned why people weren't concerned that a high boot had actually made contact with someone's face, and without even a booking, when in a similar incident only a few months ago some people... IN THIS THREAD.. thought a high boot alone was enough for a sending off because it was dangerous...

Completely and utterly wrong. I compared an incident that recently happened and went unnoticed with an almost identical but in reverse one from just a few months ago that people were quick to try and justify. You brought up the same Rooney elbow of two and a half years ago, again, which nobody...

It's relevant because the same incidents in United's favour are brought up whenever a decision goes against them, and only the fair response to it would be for me to list every decision to go against United in the same period, which would be a very long list. Or that they also failed to take...

I'll have to go back and see what your reaction to the Nani red was. I remember some thought it was ridiculous and some attempted to justify it. As for Ashley Young, I'll admit he went down easily tonight and was clearly looking for a penalty but he still had his shirt tugged. A couple of other...

He has been punished in retrospect but I've heard several people complain (not here) that he shouldn't have been and that his punishment is an example of some sort of pro-United conspiracy. The most remarkable thing about the whole incident, the thing that Fulham fans should be more annoyed...

Notable was the silence for 'justice' when a Fulham player kicked a United teenager then stamped on him over the weekend without seeing a card. Or how about the silence following the reverse fixture of tonight's game, a few weeks ago, where a head high boot made contact with a United player's...

In a moment of confusion I had you mixed up with someone else. Although I think it still is true of your team (albeit being closer to relegation than the title, rather than promotion).

Being only 6 games in it doesn't feel too bad. I wonder how it must have felt to finish nearer relegation than promotion in the last three full seasons though....
